There is no way that they would allow Archie and Lily to be used in this way .
They really are pushing boundaries with these children .

Well they did allow Archie to be filmed on his bath .

Surely there are schools in California they could visit?

Colombia is a long way to travel for a photo op with a few bewildered kids they can barely communicate with.

ThePoshUns · 17/08/2024 08:56

The hypocrisy. They won't allow photos of their own children to be released to the press but happy to use other people's children to promote themselves. They really are beyond.

After the Uvalde PR trip, it's clear they have no scruples, I think they will use others kids for any kind of promotion of themselves, no matter the circumstances..

I thought Meghan spoke fluent Spanish ?

There’s photos of them floating around on twitter in which she is wearing a bright blue dress and she’s holding the Colombian flag. I wonder why it hasn’t been picked up by the press? Do they not care any more or are the Sussexes gate keeping images?

There were some photos of them in the Telegraph this morning, with the Colombian Invictus team playing seated volleyball. Meghan was wearing what looked like a cream shirt with polka dot bottoms of some sort. I just went back to see if there was a photo I could post but the article has disappeared 🤷‍♀️

Wasn't she wearing an earpiece during the Spanish speeches?

Are there any photos of the brown satin trousers and blouse ensemble from a reliable source? The ones on X show stains on the outfit but can’t be sure they aren’t photoshopped. It’s a horrible outfit anyway, scruffy and unkempt.

I saw a report on the BBC yesterday. Really short piece, no discussion and they made what I thought came across as a subtle dig by mentioning Harry wouldn't bring his family to the UK because of security concerns

The Times did something similar.
Printed a couple of pictures of them in Colombia but the story underneath didn't mention the trip. It was all about Harry choosing to stay in a hotel the last time he visited the UK when he'd been offered rooms in Buckingham Palace (yer actual Buck House!) which apparently would have made it easier for him to see his father.
It was also pointed out that the rooms he was offered had been deemed appropriate (presumably comfort- and security-wise) for the Emperor and Empress of Japan on their state visit. So should have been just about adequate to shelter the precious flower that is Harry.

Presumably Netflix was banned in BP so he decided to stay in a hotel 🤷‍♀️

I think we have established that other people don't matter to these two

Twistybranch · 17/08/2024 09:48

It’s pretty terrible, that if they are such security risks around H&M that someone is walking round with a bullet proof briefcase shield….why the hell are they taking that security threat to a school with young kids. Meghan carrying a little girl ……while there’s a guy walking around with a shield to stop bullets.

Thats insane that anyone would allow to bring this risk/danger to a school!

Didn’t someone say on a previous thread that he had filmed the ITV interview whilst he was staying in the hotel? I couldn’t find a source, but it would seem reasonable as when else would he have done it? It would certainly explain why he wanted to be in a hotel instead of a palace. Less awkward for coming and going 🤷‍♀️

Twistybranch · 17/08/2024 09:54

I’ve read that there’s been two more changes of outfits but we aren’t seeing the photos because they are being tightly controlled. I think there’s photos on Reddit.

Blue dress - like the yellow maternity dress
cream and black polka dot skirt with white shirt.

This is why there’s no press, because the photos aren’t getting out. Turkeys voting for Xmas

You'd think, wouldn't you?
But it's pretty clear by now that they'll use whoever tthey like in any way they like for their own self promotion, and to hell with possible consequences

The polka dot skirt was the one I saw in the Telegraph article this morning that has now gone poof!

So they want to sell the photos but because they can’t they aren’t getting any publicity at all? I thought any publicity was good publicity. Apparently not, if it’s free publicity as opposed to merched 😆

missed out a word

DM link at 22.52 yesterday. First picture.

Has Harold lost his horse?!

JADS · 17/08/2024 10:19

So they are flogging the photos, but no one is buying. Own goal. I would feel sorry for them if they weren't so nasty. They are settling up those school kids for online bullying and violating their privacy - absolutely horrible behaviour.

Thedom · 17/08/2024 10:33

Seems the only place to get any full coverage of the photos is from 'X', but you really do have to search for them, they are not trending.

Maybe Harry might regret calling out Elon Musk now.

Twistybranch · 17/08/2024 10:41

That’s the thing….this type of tour is the sort of story that newspapers cover, because usually royals are representing the UK. But they aren’t, so seems pretty pointless to cover in depth.

It also doesn’t meet the celebrity bar, because it’s just going round schools and sports halls. We do get a little of fashion content but when she wears very similar outfits, it gets boring.

For example:

Nigeria - yellow maternity dress/ Colombia blue maternity dress

Nigeria- white shirt with blue skirt/Colombia white shirt with cream skirt

Nigeria Johanna Ortiz dress/Colombia same Joanna Ortiz dress.

It’s a carbon copy of the last tour ….and it’s too boring to either cover as a serious news story or as celebrity shenanigans.

PinkTonic · 17/08/2024 10:42

Thanks so it does look as though the stains are genuine, clearly visible in the standing photo. Oh dear, she really does need expert help.

Bontonbonbon · 17/08/2024 10:43

The whole thing is quite baffling. What are they achieving other than publicity for themselves and the Colombian government. There must be cash involved. Are they paid for celebs now?

The downward spiral is nearly complete.

Mymilkshakebringsallthepapstomycar · 17/08/2024 10:49

So their “philanthropy” highlighting whatever cause the Colombian VP wants highlighted (mostly her own popularity , I suspect) involves that cause being highlighted only if Archewell is paid by the press. And using someone else’s children whose images will be forever on the internet they say children should be shielded from. Whilst hobnobbing in a country where extraordinary security measures need to be taken, and not minding if other people’s kids end up in the danger zone their presence has created. It’s all very fucked up.

TemuRoyal · 17/08/2024 10:58

Harry is very f up. You can tell he doesn’t want to be there.
